Grade Level: Prek-K

This book is about a wide mouth frog who eats flies. He hops along meeting several animals throughout his day. He introduces himself as the wide-mouthed frog and says that he eats flies. He follows with, "What do you eat?" He came upon an alligator one day and the alligator said he eats wide-mouthed frogs. The frog disguised his mouth as being small and hopped into the pond.

This book is designed for students in the early elementary levels such as prek and kindergarten. This book has no true purpose to it. It is a silly book with large pop outs to entertain young readers. I would use this book in my classroom during read aloud. I probably would not put it in my library for fear that the students would rip the pages.
